Bugg did his hammy didn't he?

 

So that's one. VandenBerg looked sore and Stretch and Oliver came into the game as it went on but the latter in particular looked to be running up and down on the one spot at one stage.

 

Bugg for Garlett? Grimes? ANB?

 

Depends on the role required on a small ground I guess.

No changes.

Except 90 less fuc%$^n handballs. Against the Swans, they will destroy us if we continue to f$^^k around with the footy

Some people are never happy. Come on mate enjoy the big win over the enemy.

Wagner out for Grimes... Wagner is supposed to be in the side for his disposal and its been fairly average lately & his descion making is just as bad. Go back to Casey & work on those areas.

With Tippet out we have on serious advantage going into next week, which is the ruck. 

Do we exploit that and bring in Spencer? 

Just a thought.

I agree. Wagner has been pretty poor for a couple of weeks now. Needs a rest. Grimes or Lamumba if fit.

IF there's a change, the only player that deserves to come in from Casey, is Matt Jones.

Strech needs a rest?

No he doesn't. Next to Watts is our best by foot. Still had 18 possessions and was very good in the 2 previous rounds.

Getting to be a very good disposer, good by foot and hand. I'd keep him. Even if he's not taking the game apart on a weekly basis, he's not playing all that badly.

Agree that next two cabs off the rank would be Grimes and Matt Jones, but short of injuries, I don't see them getting a run.

I expect at some stage Harmes probably comes back for Trengove. I love Trenners, but the speed just isn't there right now. At the SCG against a contested ball team in Sydney I'm sure he stays. 

Swans might bring in a ruck and Sam Reid, so the 3 defenders stay. 

Wagner's made a few mistakes but I can't see him going out for Grimes. Grimes is a midfielder/wingman now. Should never play again at half back. So unless Grimes came in and Bugg went back I can't see that happening.

Mitch White might come in for Wagner if he was eligible for promotion from the rookie list but as far as I know he isn't.

Wagner was actually pretty good early, but he's the only one who had an average day overall. Oliver was a bit scrappy at times. Pretty much everyone else played well.

No unforced changes this week.

Wagner might not have had the best game......  But he breaks or threatened to break the line very single time....... unlike  many others, or any other that could take his spot

I think Sam Reid got injured in their reserves, was mentioned by the commentators if I recall

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
